Synel Standalone Clock Settings

Setting Description
reader.SYNEL.port = 3734 Specifies the port used to listen for requests on the Synel standalone clock. The default value is 3734.
reader.SYNEL.remoteport = 3734

WBCS will create a socket connection with a Synel standalone clock using this port when uploading the program to the clock. The clock should have this port available to listen for the connection from WBCS. The default value is 3734.

reader.SYNEL.reply.long = N The Synel protocol only supports messages which have one or two lines. This parameter defines the maximum message size in the second line. When set to Y, the maximum size is 16. Otherwise, the maximum size is 6. The default value is N.
reader.SYNEL.drainDelayedSwipes = Y Indicates how to handle offline transactions. If set to Y, besides processing the current transaction, the WBCS will request and process all the offline transactions as well. The default value is Y.
reader.SYNEL.concurrentHandlers = 0 Indicates how many simultaneous handlers are allowed in WBCS. With a setting of 0, WBCS will create the handler for the Synel standalone clock as required with no limitations. The default value is 0.
reader.SYNEL.sendDHCPRequest = Y This parameter, when set to Y, sends DHCP requests to the Synel standalone clock to retrieve the MAC address and IP address. The MAC address will be used to find the specific reader from the WBCS database. Once it locates the reader, it will update the IP address. If the value is N, the reader address will not be updated. This is the appropriate setting when a static IP address is used. The default value is Y.
reader.SYNEL.ackUnparseableInput = N This parameter, when set to Y, will enable the clock server to send a notification to the clock that an exception occurred when processing off-line or delayed swipes sent by the clock. Once the clock receives this notification, the clock will no longer attempt to send any off-line clocks that were previously sent. This condition can result in data loss. The default value is N.
reader.SYNEL.interval = 1 Indicates how often, in milliseconds, the WBCS will check the Synel standalone clock heartbeat. The default value is 1.
reader.SYNEL.heartbeat = 20000 This parameter defines the live time, in milliseconds, of a Synel standalone clock. Live time is defined as the amount of time the clock will remain active in the absence of a send request to the clock server. If the clock does not send a request to the clock server within the specified time, the clock is designated as not connected. The live time is set to three times the value provided in this parameter. The default value is 20000 milliseconds.
reader.SYNEL.heartbeatDST = N Indicates whether the WBCS will support daylight savings time. The default value is N.
